Amnesty urges Kashmir grave probe
Separatists held a human rights protest in Srinagar on Monday
Amnesty International has urged the Indian government to launch an urgent investigation into some 1,000 unmarked graves found in the Kashmir valley.
A Kashmir rights group had earlier said it had found the graves across a dozen villages in the area around the town of Uri over a 14-month period.
Amnesty said these may be victims of unlawful killings and "disappearances".
The Indian army and militants have been accused of numerous human rights abuses in Kashmir over the past two decades.
More than a dozen Islamic groups have been fighting Indian administration.
Police refusal
Amnesty's statement read: "The grave sites are believed to contain the remains of victims of unlawful killings, enforced disappearances, torture and other abuses which occurred in the context of armed conflict persisting in the state since 1989."
It called for "prompt, thorough, independent and impartial investigations".
Amnesty said the grave sites "must be secured in order to preserve the evidence".
Last week police in Indian-administered Kashmir rejected a demand for action to identify the bodies.
The inspector general of police in the Kashmir valley, SM Sahai, said police had investigated all cases of disappearances reported to them and had registered cases for investigation wherever necessary.
On Monday, senior leaders of the main separatist group, the All Parties Hurriyat Conference, led a protest in Srinagar against what they called gross human rights abuses by security forces.
The BBC's Altaf Hussain says that one of the locations identified by the Kashmir-based rights group, the Association of the Parents of Disappeared Persons (APDP), is Kichama village, 62km (39 miles) from Srinagar.
He says that none of the more than 200 apparent graves there has anything to identify the names of the deceased.
The villagers say they have no idea who they were and that the police told them the men were foreign militants killed in fighting with the Indian troops.
The APDP says more than 8,000 people have disappeared in Kashmir over the past two decades.
The government has given conflicting figures, ranging from 3,700 to 111.

Islamabad steps up efforts to reassure EU on democracy -DAWN - Top Stories; September 13, 2002
Islamabad steps up efforts to reassure EU on democracy
By Shadaba Islam
BRUSSELS, Sept 12: Pakistan has stepped up efforts to reassure the European Union on plans to restore democracy and halt alleged cross-border infiltration into occupied Kashmir, but senior EU diplomats say they remain concerned at suggestions that the Pakistan army will retain a dominant role in national politics.
“Constitutional changes in Pakistan should not lead to new structures,” a senior European diplomat told Dawn, adding: “It will be problematic for us if the National Security Council becomes a new centre of gravity.”
The message is being conveyed to Islamabad by European diplomats through a number of diplomatic channels. In Brussels this week EU security chief Javier Solana made it clear to National Reconstruction Bureau Chairman Tanvir Naqvi that the EU was keeping a close eye on Pakistan politics and India-Pakistan relations.
Europe’s overriding concern is that next month’s elections must be free and fair, the Pakistan press must remain free and constitutional changes being made by President Musharraf must not disrupt moves towards civilian rule and democracy.
Pakistan certainly won plaudits for its post-Sept 11 role in fighting global terrorism, an EU diplomat insisted, adding, however that “there can be no blank cheque for the government”.
Faced with growing EU unease over the direction of Pakistan politics, the government is stepping up efforts to explain what Gen Naqvi described as the “context” of recent developments in Pakistan.
“The EU is a very influential organization ... and it needs to get a deeper understanding of Pakistan,” the NRB chairman told Dawn. “We have the feeling that the EU needs to be briefed about our process of establishing sustainable democracy,” he underlined.
Naqvi said he had told EU officials that “elections are taking place ... there is no cause to doubt it,” adding that it was also important to “reconstruct the institutions of state”.
Seeking to ease EU concerns at the army’s post-election role in affairs of the state, Naqvi insisted that the National Security Council was only an advisory body and would have no decision-making powers. It was needed to “avoid the politics of confrontation and replace them with the politics of cooperation”, he insisted.
But the EU remains wary of President Musharraf’s plans and is adamant that the NSC should not emerge as a parallel and overriding structure, dominating Pakistan politics even after a return to civilian rule. “We’ll be watching closely,” said one diplomat.
